Calatrava 3919/1G

[Used] Patek Philippe Calatrava White Gold 18K Gold Case Manual (Patek Philippe Calatrava18K WG)[Product Description] Introducing a wonderful watch. This is a white gold 18K gold barrel manual men's model from Patek Philippe, The world's number one company for high-end watches. This is an old Calatrava model produced in the 1990s and 2000s. This model has all of Patek Philippe's historical value, Rarity, And technology. The watch is a solid traditional dress watch made entirely of 18K yellow gold, And is a beautiful model with a clean white color, Black Roman indexes, And Leaf Hands modeled after the shape of leaves. Also, Most Calatrava models do not have a second hand, Which can be inconvenient, But this model is a Calatrava with high collection value due to its high balance as a watch with a small second (separate second hand) function at the 6 o'clock position. This model is made entirely of 18K white gold, And was released at a much higher price than the basic yellow gold at the time of release. Even now, Patek Philippe sells white gold at a higher price than other rose gold or yellow gold. At the time, Most models came in leather versions, But the watch we are introducing is a top-of-the-line model with a case and bracelet made entirely of white gold, Not leather. The luxurious white dial and black Roman numerals create a stylish harmony, And the stylish Calatrava's iconic white gold mesh bracelet provides a very comfortable fit. The watch is in barely used condition, And is in such good condition that you would believe it was shipped from the Patek Philippe headquarters in Switzerland the day before yesterday. Calatrava was first released in 1932 and has established itself as Patek Philippe's most representative classic dress watch. Not only Patek Philippe, But most Swiss watch companies have been inspired by the design of Calatrava and have taken the lead in watch production. The Calatrava model is a watch that has been and still is considered to be the best dress watch that mankind has ever made, And it is a watch that has the most ideal traditional dress watch appearance that everyone desires without anyone liking it. Those who do not know much about watches may think, "It looks like an ordinary watch" when they first see Patek Philippe's Calatrava, But the reason why that watch shape is familiar to people's eyes and minds is because of that. It is easy to understand if you think it is because of Patek Philippe's Calatrava. It is a model with a history of nearly 100 years, And it is also a watch that has all the answers and answers to the question, "What is a classic dress watch?" The upper bezel of the case, Made entirely of gold, Is beautifully engraved with the hobnail guilloche technique called Clous De Paris, Which is also a very symbolic design of Calatrava. Clous de Paris is one of the case-working guilloche techniques that was first used by Patek Philippe and later mainly used by Breguet. If you look closely at the bezel, You can see square shapes like pyramids. It is composed of four different sides, Each creating shadows with different shades of light and dark. This makes the watch even more beautiful, And gives the case a three-dimensional visual effect as if it were alive and moving. Patek Philippe explains that the hundreds of beautiful, Elaborate and regular square hobnail guilloche patterns also provide psychological stability. The official full name is guilloché hobnail pattern clous de Paris. It is a technique mainly used in high-end watchmaking such as Patek Philippe, And is a finishing technique that requires extremely high level of craftsmanship. Many Calatravas, From those produced in the past to the latest Calatravas, Feature the same hobnail guilloche workmanship, A design that is a standard for Patek Philippe's high-end dress watches. You can think of it as a very iconic and historic design by Calatrava. As you all know, Patek Philippe is well known as one of the world's top three luxury watch brands and is currently the world's number one luxury watch company, Called the Emperor of Watches. “You don’t own a Patek Philippe. You just keep it for the next generation.” This phrase, Which is Patek Philippe’s basic philosophy, Symbolizes a watch that has eternal value that can be passed down to the next generation even as time passes. It is a representative high-end brand that is also called the Holy Trinity in English overseas. Holy Trinity literally means 'the three sacred brands' in Korean, Referring to Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, And Audemars Piguet. (★See photo) After experiencing and owning numerous existing Swiss luxury watches, The final destination is a watch brand with high value and history that can graduate from watch literature to the top three high-end brands. A detailed description of the brand will be covered below. This is a highly durable and well-made machine that has been used for a long time at Patek Philippe, And just looking at the beautiful bridges, You can see the excellent finishing that lives up to Patek Philippe's reputation. In the case of the internal movement, It is equipped with Cal. Caliber: 215 PS hand-winding manual movement developed by Patek Philippe in-house, And is a very stable and proven movement that has been consistently used for a long time in many Patek Philippe models such as Calatrava and Ellipse. It supports 44 hours of power reserve, And as expected from a high-end brand, It is equipped with a thin and comfortable case and small second. Of course, I think the movements used by world-class high-end brands such as Patek Philippe have extremely high accuracy and durability, So you can use them for a hundred years. The crown with Patek Philippe's iconic logo is very stylish, And the case is made entirely of 18k gold, So it has not been polished or restored, And still maintains its original appearance when it was shipped from the Patek Philippe headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The Patek Philippe Calatrava cross logo on the crown is sometimes worn or damaged, But this is in almost brand new condition with little use and is currently in very good condition. “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” The sales method is not to sell to just anyone in the store, But to select buyers who have been verified internally by the company, And sell watches only to a very small number of top VIP customers. That's why Patek Philippe's Craftsmanship and Rolex's Machine Production are often compared as polar opposites in the luxury watch market. Currently, The basic Calatrava model is sold at various prices ranging from 50 million won to 100 million won at Patek Philippe stores in department stores, But as you know, Patek Philippe is not something that anyone can just walk into a store and buy. Currently, The same white gold Calatrava small second model is being sold overseas for around 30 million won. (★See photo) Most of them were released as leather models, And the product I am selling is a higher version that is made entirely of white gold, Including the bracelet, Not leather. I think the Calatrava, Which is a much better model of Patek Philippe at a reasonable price, Is also a good choice. Considering that it is domestic, We are selling it to you at a low price. This kind of watch will continue to increase in value even if you wear it for a long time. It is a Patek Philippe that can be passed down to your children or family as an heirloom without any loss.[Watch Advantages] - The ultimate dress watch of mankind, Calatrava - A solid traditional high-end watch made entirely of 18K white gold - Aesthetic balance and completeness due to the small second hand - Bracelet Calatrava with high rarity and value - The world's best watchmaking family, Patek Philippe - Perfect watch condition, Unpolished and out of stock* Please order considering that this is an old vintage product. * Although it is an old product, It is still in its original condition and shows traces of time both inside and outside the watch.Therefore, If you want the sophistication and neatness of the new product, We strongly urge you to reconsider carefully before ordering. * Please note that as this is an older product, Some parts may be damaged or the waterproof function may be reduced.
